Personalized care for your dog or cat - Eveleth

“Our dog Suki can be challenging but Jodi and Edward made a home-away-from-home for her where she was well cared for and comfortable. They were easy to communicate with and kept us informed. I wouldn't hesitate to leave with our dog with them again.”

“Penny had so much fun on her sleepover at Kristy’s! Kristy took the dogs on a long walk in the woods and sent lots of photos so I could see the adventures they went on too. Her house is very well dog-proofed with a fenced yard and lots of cozy spots for the dogs to relax at home, and her dogs are very friendly companions. Penny can’t wait for her next stay with Kristy!”

“We booked Alyssa to watch our two chaotic pups in her home for a weekend. She was fantastic In communicating with us during their stay providing updates multiple times a day. Our girls were so happy when we picked them up they didn’t want to leave! Will so be booking with her again!”

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs most of my life and they always love to hang out with me when I'm around. My friends tell me when I come over I spend more time playing with their dog than I do hanging out with them. Always stoked to meet more fur friends! Currently working part time sharpening clipper blades and scissors for groomers so I get to see local fur friends often and I have plenty of time to hang out with them. I am very good at intuitively knowing when a dog needs something when I take care of dogs in their home, and I am also very attentive to the preferences of the owner for any special treatment their pup might need. I prefer to get familiar with a new dog before bringing them to my house but I can be an excellent host! I have acres of land out at my place and tons of groomed trails to take them around me.

About: I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I love animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I work full time, but I’m available before 9 and after 5 M-F. I have all day availability on Saturday and Sunday. I might be able to go during my lunch if close by. I have a fenced in yard. I great responsibility to care for my animals. I make sure to keep dogs in a leash when walking them and to use caution crossing the street and around cars.

“Jessica went above and beyond for Yuma (and mom)! We both love having her come and spend time together when mom & dad have a late night! You are definitely repeat clients!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for 10 years and I have one of my own. I’ve dealt with feisty manecoons to little cuddley kittens. I’m a litter box pro!

“Liz was a wonderful caretaker of our 13 year-old male cat. He did not make it easy for her as he was a bit cranky, but she hung in there and did a great job.”

About: As a cat owner and former foster, I understand how to make cats feel safe and comfortable, especially shy or anxious ones. I’ve cared for a variety of cats, from energetic kittens to senior cats needing extra patience and attention. I tailor my care to each cat’s unique personality, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or gentle grooming. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean and fresh, creating a stress-free environment for your feline friend.

About: I just moved to Virginia in December with my 2 cats, I’m excited to learn the area and meet friendly faces and cute critters! Currently working to finish my bachelors degree in communications. I have fostered dogs for 4 years through Save-A-Bull and Ruff Start Rescue with my family. All of which have been pit bulls or pit bull mixes. I have grown up around dogs of all sizes ranging from Pomeranians to Great Danes and have loved all of them :) I've also cared for goats, sheep, turkey/ chickens, cattle, reptiles, small rodents, and fish so I'm comfortable with all animals! I have been passionate about animals all my life and started pet sitting back in 2012 as a tween for family and friends. Once I realized how much I enjoyed being able to care for animals I decided to make it my side job through high school into college. Hard to believe it’s been 14 years now! I’ve done everything from giving senior dogs their meds in hot dogs to taking care of small farmsteads. I'm able to give oral medications if needed and can work with dietary/ movement restrictions. I have taken care of special needs dogs (diabetic, epileptic, post surgery). I haven’t given intravenous medicine, but I am certainly willing to learn with the right client. I'm looking forward to filling some of my free time engaging with dogs! I love going on walks, but I also love playing fetch and tug of war. I am also more than happy to watch any other critters you may have- barn animals included :) I’m still settling into Virginia after moving away from the cities so I haven’t established a set routine, especially since I haven’t found a day job. I can’t be gone for too many days since I have cats of my own and it’s not fair to my roommates to be saddled with them. I always follow the instructions given to me by my clients. Whenever I am unsure I always ask for clarification. I’m extra careful about opening and closing doors, keeping objects of of reach, and keeping up with day to day schedules.

“Had such a GREAT experience with Sav! She knows exactly what she is doing and was SO adaptable her first time getting to know our dogs quirks. Truly, it means so much as we have a golden retriever who struggles on walks and is anxious! We will absolutely be using her again as our dog walker!”

About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.
